The simple answer is to craft, temper, and enchant your own. With the crafting perks you can make obscenely powerful weapons and armor, even more so if you use the resto loop glitch to buff your skill in crafting.

There really is no "best weapon" in game as "best" is once again a matter of preference and can even be situational.

Weapon damage increases with increases in skill as well as weapon damage increasing perks, enchantments, and beneficial potion effects.

The best weapons without crafting skills are probably, as someone already posted, Chillrend pre-Dragonborn and Muatra (not sure why that's a spoiler as I haven't played Dragonborn) with Dragonborn.

Thanks JINJO, how do I get these 2 weapons, can you tell me the quest or where to find them as I have spent so many hours on this game but not getting anywhere. It's not as if I am spoiling it because I really want to finish this game but can't spend so many hours on it this time.

Um, I can't tell you anything about the second one because I haven't played Dragonborn and I want to avoid spoilers if I can, but I can tell you Chillrend is located in Riften in Riftweald Manor, which you go to during the Thieves Guild quest line. You can enter it early by jumping onto roof tops/and or Whirlwind Sprinting to the balcony but I don't recommend this. Additionally, the sword is a leveled weapon; it won't be at its max potential unless you enter Riftweald Manor at level 46 or higher.

Also, if you have Dawnguard installed you can craft Dragonbone swords which will match the base damage of Chillrend.
